Black Bean and Vegetable Tex-Mex Filling

Us at the Twins game. Final score 19-7... Yeah it was that kind of game.

Over the weekend I cooked up some black beans to use for Monday's dinner. When Monday morning rolled around I was craving some Mexican inspired dish. Finally deciding on black bean tostadas, I went out for my run. It was during my run that I realized that Mark has taco salad for lunch every Tuesday so he probably wouldn't want tostadas the night before. As crushed as I was, I settled on black bean sloppy joes made with salsa.Around 4:30 pm I decided that I wanted to go to the Twins game, which meant I was in a time crunch to get dinner done. So instead of following the recipe I had found, I threw together flavors and spices I thought would go well together. The end result ended up being pretty good, but didn't really taste like sloppy joes. However, we concluded that the filling would be nice for taco filling, nachos, mexican pasta dish, or on buns (how we had it). That works well for me because I like to make a big batch of something and freeze some for a later date.
